E-mail or written memo from senior leadership To All (Group Name) Employees/Members: There is always a need for blood in the United States. Accidents, surgeries, and other everyday occurrences require a constant supply of donations. With our help, the Red Cross can continue to meet these needs every day. In the next few days, you'll be contacted by a volunteer who has agreed to serve as a blood drive recruiter. They will ask you to support the program and pledge to donate blood. Please support him/her and do your best to take the time to donate. If for some reason you are not able to donate, you can still make a big impact by helping with the blood drive. Contact the recruiter if you are interested in doing so. Remember, the drive is on (date, time, place). Please bring some form of ID with you. I thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, (Name)
